After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 53 Fusion

A strong wind swept in, and Ali felt as if a demon was roaring in her ears, as if it wanted to cut her waist off. The two of them retreated dozens of meters before regaining their balance.

It is clear that this sound was not something that two insignificant humans could withstand.

The enormous creature lay between the two. Its pointed mouth was like a boulder.

Seeing the "giant rock" that had fallen not far away, the two sighed inwardly, thank goodness they were blown back dozens of meters by the wind, otherwise they would have been crushed to death by this behemoth!

The "lantern" from before was dozens of times larger. Although the red light had been dimmed, it was still shocking to behold. Only when they got closer did they realize that it was no longer a lantern at all; it was as big as a house!

As soon as it opened its mouth, it said, "Slay—" and another raging storm ensued.

Although it wisely shut its mouth, Ali was still blown into the air, but luckily Yu Yang caught her in time.

Seeing that the enormous creature still wanted to speak, Ali quickly stretched out her hand: "Shut up! I'll ask you a question, you answer it. If it's you, blink twice, understand?"

It blinked pitifully, and a giant, bent log fell down.

The two stepped back three meters to avoid the dust kicked up by the giant tree. Looking up, they saw that the huge creature's eyes were covered with countless "giant trees".

This giant tree was just one of its eyelashes?

I'm not even as long as one of their eyelashes!

"Can you shrink a little? Like this?" Ali gestured.

The enormous creature vanished in an instant, replaced by a pitch-black creature the size of a peacock, constantly calling out, "Master, Master."

"I'm telling you, next time you should adjust the size according to the other person's body type, okay?"

Dark and pitiful: "Master..."

It thought its owner was blaming it.

"Stop! Tell me what happened first. How did I become your master?"

"You are my master." Darkness tilted its head, looking completely bewildered. Master is master, why else?

"Then what are you?"

"I am the Golden Peacock, a descendant of the Phoenix."

"Peacock?"

"Hmm."

"Descendants of the Phoenix?"

"Mmm-hmm." Dark black with a proud expression.

Ali's eyes were complicated. Who would have thought that I, with my ordinary appearance, was actually a descendant of the phoenix?

Fortunately, this phoenix, oh no, peacock, was also quite ordinary. Well, that offered some consolation.

At that moment, Ali suddenly remembered that what she had seen before wasn't a fan-shaped pattern, but a peacock pattern. No wonder there was a small fan-shaped pattern at the bottom.

The Fiery Golden Phoenix, also known as the Golden Peacock, is said to be the incarnation of the phoenix on earth, the king of all birds, and can bring good luck.

However, hers is a real black peacock, not a phoenix.

Just like she is, she can't be the female lead.

Composing herself, Ali said calmly, "I already have a contracted beast named Zi tide, so you can be called Dai tide."

Why?

Ali looked at its dark body and teased, "We can't exactly call it Black Tide, can we?"

Unexpectedly, tears streamed down its face: "But...I originally wanted to be a boy..."

But Master, did you give me a girl's name because you want me to become a girl?

"Ok?"

Can peacocks change sex?

"No, that's not it. But my tribe is androgynous. As long as my master doesn't abandon me, it's okay to become a girl."

As if afraid of being abandoned, it immediately pecked at Ali's hand, thus establishing a contract.

Just then, the system suddenly spoke up: [Host, this system will merge with it.]

"What? Why do we need to merge?"

This system and it share the same origin, and since we are both incomplete, merging is inevitable.

"Would anyone's consciousness be stripped away?"

system:……

Master, do you think it's possible that I am the missing part of it?

I'll eat myself?

But these are things that cannot be said.

No. This system is merely a string of data. Its fusion with the Black Peacock will only enrich its soul and awaken its past life memories. Only then will it evolve into a true Fiery Golden Phoenix.

Once the contract was signed, the black color on its body faded, revealing a golden light, which surprised Ali slightly.

It really is a descendant of the phoenix, with ruby-like eyes, a slender golden peacock-like body, and a long golden tail, looking remarkably similar to the legendary phoenix.

Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous.

Ali suddenly felt that the name Dai tide was not good enough for it: "If you don't like the name Dai Xi, how about Jin tide? Jin means brocade, which is also quite nice."

"As long as you don't leave your master, you can call me whatever you want~" The peacock transformed into a golden peacock ring and slipped it onto her index finger.

"Master, this way others won't be able to tell your cultivation level."

Ali suddenly remembered that female peacocks don't have beautiful tails, so she quickly asked, "Wait, if you turn into a girl, will your tail disappear?"

"No, we Golden Sparrows are hermaphroditic."

"That's good." It would be a shame to lose such a beautiful tail.

Yu Yang also teased from the side, "Why are all these mythical beasts so eager to form contracts with you?"

However, his voice sounded weak and feeble.

Ali noticed that Yu Yang's face was pale and quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Yu Yang answered weakly, leaning against Ali: "I was hit by two arrows just now and lost too much blood. I probably can't walk anymore."

She raised one eyelid, glanced at Ali, and seeing that she was trying to push her away, she quickly said weakly, "Could you help me out?"

A-Li's face stiffened, remembering that it was her loss of control that triggered the rain of arrows. Well, at least she was injured because of her; she couldn't just ignore it, could she?

Ali resignedly took Yu Yang back to her own courtyard.

Hei Yue was about to go out when she saw her young mistress helping a large man back, and she was startled: "Miss, this is..."

"Don't speak yet, help me get him to the side room first."

"okay."

After a careful examination, Ali discovered that Yu Yang had two serious arrow wounds, one on his back and one on his chest. In particular, there was a broken arrow still lodged in his body, and he had countless other abrasions.

It looks quite heavy...

"I need to pull out the remaining arrow first, then stitch up the wound. Black Moon, go prepare needles, thread, wine, cotton balls, and gauze, then tell White Moon to quickly find some hot water. Remember, only the two of you are allowed to come in."

Ali first disinfected all the wounds with alcohol before carefully examining the arrow wound on his chest. He had actually broken the arrow in two, but the arrowhead was still inside and needed to be removed. "Black Moon, bring another pair of chopsticks and scissors. Also, bring all the painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs from home. And White Moon, go and brew some blood-tonifying and bone-strengthening medicine. We don't have a doctor now and don't know what medicine to take, but after losing so much blood, replenishing the blood is definitely the right thing to do..."

The exposed arrow was too short, so Ali first used scissors to cut the wound a little, then wrapped silk thread around the scissors, and pulled hard, and it came out naturally.

Next, the wound needs to be stitched up.

Both days were incredibly busy, and Ali's hands trembled uncontrollably. Having lived three lifetimes, this was the first time she had ever picked up a needle to stitch someone's wound.

"Young Miss, how about I do it?" Bai Yue said, mustering her courage.

But Ali could tell that her hands were trembling even more than her own.
